SweetWater Sch’wheat Gets Axed

Nearly 2 years ago, SweetWater Brewing retired Summer Hummer (a seasonal witbier) in lieu of Sch’Wheat in the year round lineup. The beer was introduced as a “gateway” beer for many drinkers making their first foray into beers that aren’t light lagers. The beer has done well over the past 2 years in the line year round lineup, but in 2012 it won’t make the cut. Sch’Wheat has been suspended in the coming brew-year to make way for some new exciting brews. (and some oldies making returns.)
